We have a bottle drinker! (finally)

After Kaleb turned (about) three months, he wanted nothing... NOTHING to do with his bottle.

Nursing and Mommy's milk only.

Overall, I had no problem with that, but I can't go anywhere or do anything!

Today, on a whim, I decided to give it another try. Keep in mind, I've tried, his Dad has tried, his grandma and aunts have tried. and he flat out REFUSED.

When I offered it to him, he held it himself and drank it up!

Hopefully he doesn't out right reject it again, but so far so good.

Kaleb is 5 months old!

My Kaleb is growing and growing!

He is now:

• Rolling over
• Refusing to drink out of a bottle… Mommy's milk only!
• Smiling and cooing at Daddy when he comes home from work.
• Loving it when Daddy wears the baby carrier while he plays video games. (Mario Kart: the lightning and squids make him yell)
• Eating baby cereal (mixed with Mommy's milk only, of course)
• Grabbing his toys and putting them directly in his mouth
• Biting mommy's face to let her know he is hungry
• Sleeping in his crib all night (well, maybe one midnight snack)
• Wobbly sitting up… sort of
• Bouncing in his jumper while watching Baby Mozart at least once a day
• Laughing when Daddy laughs
• Closing his eyes, calming down and smiling when we cover his face with kisses
• Singing himself to sleep at nap-time and bed-time. 
• Making his Mommy and Daddy so happy to have him as their baby. 

He is also getting more and more handsome!

So, the question that has been popping up more and more is : "Who does Kaleb resemble more?"

We've agreed that he looks more like Mommy from the nose down and more like daddy from the nose up, but can't agree who he looks more like over all. 

Care to voice your opinion?

Who does Kaleb resemble more?

Mommy Daddy Perfect mix !

I know who I think he resembles most… but I'll keep that to myself until the votes are in. :D

Kaleb is on a roll!

Kaleb rocks.
Kaleb…



Please excuse our silly noises, we were very excited for our son.
Thats my boy!

Blake the Graduate!

This past Sunday was Blake's graduation ceremony at Cal State Fullerton.
Hes considered himself "graduated" since December, when he took his last final, but he finally got to "walk" and I was very excited for him.

He truly earned his Bachelors in Communications with an emphasis in Advertising. (YAY BLAKE!)

Thank You!

His family was at the ceremony, including Mom and Dad, Jordan and Freesia, Quinn and Becky and Vance and Melissa. We were so very thankful they made the trip to be with us on Blake's day.

This ones for Mom and Dad!

Especially since we didn't have any ticket and basically "snuck" in at the last minute. (they let us in)
Blake's family had to sit in the very back (so sad) but I grabbed my baby belly and walked around the front and center of the seats until someone said I could have a seat they were saving. :D

Yes, I'm milking it. No, I don't care. My feet hurt, and I got the see my Blake graduate up close and personal. :D

My goodness, he's handsome!

We were only missing Jillian, Kyle and Becca, who were in Utah welcoming the newest addition to their family, Baby Paul Michael Gardner. (Hello, Paul! We love you.)

Welcome to the family, little one! <3

After the ceremony we had a mini photo shoot. 

(by the way, Dad was the photographer the entire time, I did grab my camera but didn't use it much. Thanks Dad!)

Brothers and the Wives.

Its the Greens! (all 5 couples.)

aww, Parental love.  

Our growing (and successfully educated) family

LOVE HIM!

Brothers.

The Ladies. 

After we left the Campus, we all went to my Dad's house for a super yummy BBQ! I, unfortunately, didn't take ANY pictures there, but it was lots of fun.

There were cupcakes, decorations, sour patch kids, hot dogs, peach soda, hot wings, frog eye salad (brought and made by Blake's fantastic mother) enchiladas, family and friends. It was so nice to be with family and celebrate with Blake.

My Dad is awesome.

But Sunday was all about the Blake and I could not be more proud of my husband. He worked so hard and sacrificed a lot for us and our family. 

I absolutely adore you, Blake. 

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
